The Facts:
NFL Network draft expert Mike Mayock reported Blackmon ran unofficial times of 4.48 and 4.49 seconds at his pro day, putting to rest any concern that he’d post a slow time in the 40. Blackmon is Mayock’s top-ranked wideout in April’s draft.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Blackmon widely was criticized when he chose not to run the 40-yard dash during the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis because of a hamstring injury. Blackmon’s decision placed more importance on Oklahoma State’s pro day, and he certainly did not disappoint. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch later reported, via Twitter, that Blackmon’s official 40 time was 4.46. “It’s a pretty good time is what it is,” NFL.com personnel guru Gil Brandt said. “There’s no question about that. I think people thought he’d run in the low 4.5s.”
